Chapter 218 We Don’t Mean This
"Let me see your hoe." Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly called Asong who was in front of her. Asong turned around and handed her the hoe on his shoulder. Shen Xiaoxiao took the hoe and wiped the juice off the hoe with her hand. She felt the stickiness on it and looked at the color on it. She had some guesses in her mind.
"Where did you get this thing?" Shen Xiaoxiao said lightly.
"It's right there. I don't know what it is. The color looks a bit scary."
"Take me there." Shen Xiaoxiao said immediately. Although Asong didn't understand, he still took her there. "It's here." Asong pointed to the foot of a mountain. There were many trees and some thorns there.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't care and asked for confirmation, "Are you sure?"
"Well, look, there are still traces of my digging there. There is no mistake." Asong said firmly.
"Okay, then you continue to dig there, and the others will hoe away the nearby thorns. "Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Although the others didn't understand why they had to do this, they all had a vague guess in their hearts. No one said anything nonsense, and they started to work quickly. After a while, the thorns and weeds nearby were cleared.
A Song also started digging at that location. Soon he felt that the hoe had dug up something different from the feeling of soil. He pulled it down hard, and a black thing with purple liquid and some red fell down, "Goddess, this is it."
Without him saying anything, Shen Xiaoxiao had already picked up the things on the ground, carefully identified them, and then smiled, "Goddess, what is this?"
"Chaitou potato, edible."
Although Shen Xiaoxiao spoke little, they all understood that this thing was edible, and they became excited all of a sudden. This was really great. They didn't expect that they could find so much food in winter.
"There should be others here. You should dig this one out first, dig it clean, and be careful not to dig up the meat. "Shen Xiaoxiao urged, she started looking around, and sure enough she found two.
Soon they dug out all the yams. They had no experience in the first digging, so a lot of them were rotten, but it didn't matter, they would cook them when they got back and it wouldn't be wasted, and the other good ones could be kept for a longer time.
It was probably because no one dug them, these yams were very big, although there were only three, but they were almost a hundred pounds, they only brought a few baskets to dig peanuts, so they had to carry these yams back by themselves.
They also enjoyed it, after all, this was food, who could refuse food.
When they went back, the others had already returned to the tribe, and they were shocked to see that they brought so many things back, especially the big yams.
Is this the peanut that the goddess said? This is too big.
Hearing what they said, Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "What are you thinking, this is peanuts." Then she raised the basket in her hand, "Those are yams."
"Is it the same as sweet potato?"
"It's not the same thing." Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Just know that this is food. "
Soon Shen Xiaoxiao led them to cook the firewood potatoes. They could cook a whole pot just by digging out the bad ones. In addition, they also cooked peanut sprouts. They had a full meal. They hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time. Everyone was particularly satisfied with this meal.
The people of the Liuhua tribe were envious of their harvest, but they didn't have any bad thoughts. After all, they also knew that if there was no White Tiger Tribe, the Liuhua tribe would have ceased to exist long ago. They couldn't be ungrateful or think that the White Tiger Tribe should treat them well.
In the next few days, they tried to find as much food as possible. Shen Xiaoxiao planned to take them to continue south. This place was not suitable for settling. They had been walking for so long, and it didn't matter if they walked a little further. Not only for themselves, but also for their descendants. At least they had to give them an environment where they could live in peace.
"Witch, are we still following them?" The people of the Liuhua tribe looked at their witch. They had been walking for a long time, and it seemed safer here. They didn't want to go any further, but the White Tiger Tribe didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"What do you mean? "The witch's voice was flat, with no expression.
"Why don't we stay here? There's food here too..." As he spoke, his voice got smaller and smaller. The witch looked at them with a look of disappointment, "You only see the little bit of benefit in front of you, and you won't see anything about the future."
"After spending so much time together, can't you see what the goddess of the White Tiger Tribe is like?"
"Do you think the goddess will continue to move on if this place is suitable for settlement?" The witch sighed, "If possible, the goddess is more reluctant to move on than us. "She could see that the goddess was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble. She was still walking because this place was not suitable for living, otherwise the goddess would have stopped long ago.
And they had not thought about how they would survive after stopping here. It was winter now, there were not many wild fruits, and hunting was difficult. If they had not followed the White Tiger Tribe, they would have starved to death long ago. Even if they had not starved to death, they would have been killed by others who were targeting them. How could they be like this now?
The thick clothes they were wearing and the thick quilts they were covering were all lent to them by the White Tiger Tribe. If they wanted to separate from them, they would definitely have to return the things. They had not thought about whether they could survive this winter without these thick clothes?
Although it was not as cold as the place where they lived before, it was also cold. They could not survive this winter relying solely on their own warm clothes.
And the White Tiger Tribe is so different from other tribes. They have never seen the same things in other tribes, whether it is a knife, a hoe, or pots and pans, or a car... These are all unique to the White Tiger Tribe.
And the things that the goddess of the White Tiger Tribe knows are far beyond what she can imagine. From their conversations, they can tell how good their lives were before. If it weren't for this disaster, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to know them, let alone like now.
They have a chance to live well, but they don't want to seize the opportunity, and they want to give up such a good opportunity. What are they thinking?
Could it be that they think they will live better if they leave the White Tiger Tribe?
"Those who want to stay, stay, and those who want to leave, follow me." Wu didn't want to say anything more. She knew that some of them had their own thoughts. In that case, she would give them this opportunity to let them choose for themselves.
"Witch, that's not what we meant."
"Yes, we must follow the tribe."
"We are just talking. After all, we have been walking for so long and we are all tired, so we are talking nonsense."
Seeing that they were not really possessed, the witch was relieved. After all, she didn't want to see the tribe fall apart. They had survived with great difficulty, and she didn't want to be separated like this.
